Well i got my BHAF in today and was putting it on and jsut decided to peak and see if the silencer ring was removed and found that alot more than the silencer ring was MIA. All I could see was a black film of oil. :banghead: I called around here and could get that one rebuilt through work for $800. Started looking around online and found some that were $1100 for an OEM replacement. Called one place and they had their "in house" brand which had the same warranty as the Holset but half the price and I dont have to send mine as a core. I know you pay for what you get sometimes but I had to get the cheaper one and hope it is as good as factory ones:pray:With the expeditied overnight shipping and everything the total was $630.

Just rebuild it.It's probably just one simple seal causing the leak.

It will need a whole new cartridge but since I dont have to send it back as a core I will rebuild it when I get time and have a factory spare put up. I just dont have the time to order parts and fix it myself right now as this is my only means of transportation. I would keep driving it but since I do not know when the leak started or how bad I really dont trust driving on it unless I have to

$85 for the rebuild kit and a weekend is all. i need to do mine if i can find time as brutus is my only vehicle

I order the turbo yesterday around 4 p.m. and paid for overnight shipping and to my surprise it was at my front door at 9:30a.m. I got the new one on and took the silencer ring since it was all ready out on the old and didn't plan on much difference but boy was I wrong. The old one would talk to you a lil with a goo load on it. This new will sing at 8-10 psi. I will give it a few days and then really get a good load on trailer and see how it sounds and decide if I wanna put the ring back in or not. It has made a lil difference performance wise but can't feel much. Once I get it broke in right I will get on it and see if I can feel a difference

i love turbo whistle!

Even with the Ring in mine I can still hear the whistle up around 25-35 PSI very clearly. But cruising it rather silent.
